    The way the Texans are playing, they could easily lose two of those. If Nico is out, they will probably lose at least two of them.

    None of those games scare me. Texans come out focused they can go 4-0

    The defenses we're playing are scary good. Patriots can copy what the Vikings do with ease. GB too but they won't.
    The Jets have the Swarm down and what Meco eventually wants to become. Colts are the only team that will let you throw it around without a care.
    I'll be happy with 3-1 and you just know those 3 wins are going to be close with the 2 yard gains on downs trying to milk the clock away in the THIRD quarter.

    No win is guaranteed with the way the team is playing at the moment.

    - The offense isn't putting up the points we thought they would.
    - Penalties are a problem.
    - Other than Fairbairn, the special teams is mediocre at best.

    This team also has to learn how to put games away when they have the lead.
    Always in one possession games that could go either way.

    Equivalent of “Rockets play no real contenders in their next __ games.”

    Please delete this thread. @Castor27

    Have you watched the Texans? Every game should scare you, yet they should win every game.

    3-1 very possible w/ an “L” at Lambeau. Never know what you’re going to get from these Aaron Rodgers Jets week-to-week, but that’s another road game

    Yup we play to the level of the competition every damn time. Last season vs the Jets, Panthers, Falcons, he forced the run when our pass catchers were injured and out. I expect him to force it even more with Nico probably out. I just hope Mixon is finally back.

    The Cowboys lost both Micah Parsons and Demarcus Lawrence (now on IR) playing on the disaster field against the Giants.

    MetLife Stadium is scarier than the Jets and Giants combined.

    We can easily lay an egg against some tough defenses. No game is a given.

    This is the NFL and I don't look past the Pats, teams seem to change on a dime and if you suck this week you are great the next game........we have a long way to go and some kinks we need to work out but I am confidant which is a very odd feeling being a Texans fan. As long as 7 is lining up each game we have a chance...................and I take great pride knowing number 4 up in Cleveland is stinking the joint up :D

    I can dig it. This team is winning games with ugly football. I have faith they will come around to a more polished product soon (Mixon return). None of the upcoming teams are much of a worry if we can at least maintain the current level of play. These guys will need to be a well oiled machine by the time the Lions come to town.

    I noticed in the Rams game one of the linemen looked like he was wearing one albeit they tried to make it look normal.........just took a peelk at the google machine and he was

    Right guard Kevin Dotson was spotted wearing one over his helmet, making him one of the few players in the league to wear a cap in a game. You can see his helmet cover in the video below. According to NFL research, Guardian Caps can absorb up to 10% of the force of a hit, so it is effective.Sep 15, 2024
